Materials

Quilt designer: Roseann Meehan Kermes
From American Patchwork & Quilting, October 2007

Designer Notes
This “Spooky Hollow” table topper (using a fabric collection of the same name by Andover) is the perfect fall project—fast, fun, and oh-so-adorable. Designer Roseann Meehan Kermes used the wide stripe in this fabric collection for the pumpkin and cat outer borders. Follow her lead and fussy-cut the particular scene you want (pumpkins and crows or cats and cauldrons) from the wide stripe.

5/8 yard black print (quilt center, binding)
2 — 9x22" pieces (fat eighths) lime green prints (borders)
2 — 9x22" pieces (fat eighths) purple prints (borders)

28” square batting

Finished quilt: 22” square
Finished Four-Patch blocks: 2” and 4" square

Quantities are for 100% cotton, 44/45"-wide fabrics. Measurements include 1/4" seam allowances. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.
